| 2 | boneless skinless chicken |

Instructions:
-
Prepare Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken into cubes, then season with salt and pepper, ensuring every piece is evenly coated.
-
Prep Aromatics: Slice the onion into julienne strips and finely mash the garlic cloves to release their flavors.
-
Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add the mashed garlic and julienned onions, and sauté until they turn golden brown and aromatic. Set aside for later use.
-
Prepare Liquid Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix hot water with the bouillon cube and peanut butter until both are fully dissolved or melted. Combine this mixture with coconut milk, curry powder, minced ginger, chopped cilantro, and white wine. Stir well to create a flavorful liquid base for the dish.
-
Layer Ingredients: Place the seasoned chicken cubes into the crock pot, ensuring they are evenly distributed along the bottom. Then, layer the sautéed onions and garlic on top of the chicken.
-
Add Liquid Mixture: Pour the prepared liquid mixture over the chicken and aromatics, ensuring they are fully submerged. This will infuse the chicken with rich flavors as it cooks.
-
Slow Cook: Set the crock pot to low heat and allow the chicken to cook slowly for approximately 6 to 7 hours, or until it becomes tender and thoroughly cooked through. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Thicken Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, add a cornstarch slurry to the crock pot to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency. Stir gently to incorporate the slurry into the sauce, allowing it to thicken slightly.
-
Serve: Serve the succulent Crock Pot Curry Chicken over steamed rice, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and crunchy peanuts for added texture and flavor. For those who enjoy an extra kick of heat, sprinkle chopped chilies or cayenne pepper over the dish for an added burst of spice.
